A blog to show you what I have been doing with my needles....whether those are sewing machine needles, embroidery, cross stitch needles or knitting needles.
I must have at least 3-4 projects on the go at once (in each craft). My aim to to have more Finished Objects than UFO's. My other aim is to use up the stash I have accumulated over so many years!

What a great weekend I had at the Majacraft Magic Camp, run by Mandie and Janet. Caroline and I drove up to the back of Bacchus Marsh (detour at Gisbourne for a needed coffee break).

I did a few different workshops, how to cast on for a Möbius, using the Cat Bordhi method. That was great fun. I cast on 2 Möbius scarves to keep me going, so I could check with Bernadette if I had cast on properly. I also did a workshop on spinning yarn for socks with Carmel, Combs with Glynis, and weaving with Donni.

As usual I was so enthralled with what I was doing, I kept forgetting to get out my camera.

But I managed to take a few photos on the last day.

The fibre sandwich everyone contributed to.

Close up. Everyone took home 100grams of fibre

My messy experiment with weaving techniques. I managed all this in less than an hour. I can see why weaving is so addictive....it's so quick once the loom is warped up.

Home again, and this is the stash I brought home with me. This should keep me going for awhile!﻿
